What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin tooth-shaped shells of dental porcelain. Each one is carefully crafted to fit over the entire frontward-facing surface of an individual tooth. This shields it and completely transforms the size, shape, and color. High-quality dental porcelain is chip- and stain-resistant and can easily be color-matched to the rest of your smile for seamless results.
Prep-Free Veneers
Veneers require the removal of a thin layer of enamel in order to sit flush with the surrounding pearly whites. If you’re interested in keeping your enamel or need more volume, we have no-prep options available. Book a consultation to see which option is best suited for you.

The Veneers Treatment Process
-
Preparation of Teeth
After you’ve been approved for treatment during your cosmetic dentistry consultation, Dr. Sheren Elsaid will gently buff away a thin layer of enamel to prepare your teeth that will be receiving the veneers.
-
Impressions & Temporary Veneers
After your teeth are prepared, you’ll have dental impressions and pictures taken of them. These will be sent to a dental lab where your permanent veneers will be created. You will be sent home with a set of temporary resin veneers, which will protect your newly prepared teeth until your permanent veneers are ready.
-
Permanent Veneer Placement
Once your dentist has checked the fit of your custom-made veneers and everything looks good, they’ll be attached to your teeth permanently using dental adhesive, completing your brand new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers made of?
Veneers are typically made of a high-quality ceramic porcelain material that looks and feels just like natural tooth enamel. The porcelain will be matched to the color of your teeth and is very similar to enamel in hardness and translucence, making it an ideal material for enhancing the appearance of your smile.
Resin veneers are also available, but they are typically only used as temporary veneers because resin does not look as natural and is not nearly as durable as porcelain veneers.
How much do veneers typically cost?
The cost of veneers will vary depending on how many teeth will be receiving veneers, your overall oral health, the size and shape of each tooth, and a variety of other factors. The best way to get an accurate cost estimate is to contact your dentist for a cosmetic consultation. During your consultation, your Parsippany dentist will examine your mouth, assess your oral health, and give you a quote for the cost of treatment with veneers.
How long do veneers last?
This varies and depends on how well you take care of your veneers, but most patients can keep a set of veneers for 15 to 20 years. Over time, your veneers may wear down, and you may need to have individual veneers repaired or replaced.
The best way to prolong the lifespan of your veneers is to brush and floss properly, and to keep visiting a cosmetic dentist near you every six months for a teeth cleaning and oral exam. You should also avoid doing things that could break or dislodge your veneers, such as chewing non-food objects, chewing hard foods with your front teeth, or using your teeth as tools.
Can veneers be removed?
No. Since traditional veneers are bonded into place permanently, they are not meant to be removed. In other words, the procedure is not reversible, as it requires a thin layer of enamel to be permanently buffed away from your teeth. After your treatment, you will need to take proper care of your veneers and have them replaced if any of them break or become dislodged.
What Happens to the Teeth Under Veneers?
Veneers themselves won’t harm your teeth because only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed. The bonding material used to attach the restoration is also completely safe. Because the front-facing surfaces of the teeth are covered by the veneer, there is not an increased risk of cavities. However, it’s still important that you maintain an excellent oral hygiene routine. You can keep your veneers safe in the same way you protect your natural teeth. This includes brushing twice, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash every day. You should also continue to attend regular checkups and be mindful of the amount of sugar you are consuming.
How Many Veneers Will I Need?
The goal of veneers is for all of your visible teeth to match. Therefore, you will receive an appropriate number of veneers to accomplish that goal. Some people get a single veneer to cover one pesky tooth while others get anywhere from eight to twenty veneers for a more complete smile makeover. During your consultation, we will discuss what the right number of veneers is to achieve the goals you have for your smile.
Do Veneers Feel Like Real Teeth?
Many patients report that their veneers feel perfectly natural in their mouths. They don’t even notice them when speaking or eating. Veneers are carefully crafted to fit perfectly onto your teeth after a small amount of enamel has been removed. This enamel removal prevents the restoration from protruding uncomfortably. Porcelain is also very smooth and doesn’t irritate the soft tissues in the mouth.
